Protest song for nurses at St. Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham

Lyrics

Come gather 'round nurses
Whatever your floor
And stand up for things that
Are worth standing for
And say to PeaceHealth we
Won't take anymore
Of the promises they have
Been breaking
They keep giving us less
And asking for more
But this time they are mistaken

Come into this hospital
Who do you see?
And who gets you up
When you need to go pee
And in the dark of the
Night whose face do you see?
If you've ever had
A heart that was breaking
If you've ever have
Love someone then you
Will understand
We are worth much more than
What we're making

I heard that Chuck Prosper
Is a millionaire
Maybe he doesn't know
Or he doesn't care
The people beneath him
Are struggling for air
Without the insurance
He is taking
And maybe he thinks
Will just let this one go
And he'll find he is mistaken

Come administrators
Please listen to me
And don't be surprised
By this crowd you that you see
Will you protect your patients
Or your monopoly
It's people's lives that you're waging
And if you don't value us
Then you don't value them
Then we are not mistaken

Come gather 'round nurses
Don't give up the fight
Cause some things are wrong
And some things are right
In this hour of darkness
Let's show them the light
It's their very souls that
We're saving
And where would the
Sister's of St. Joseph's
Had stood? They'd find
We weren't mistaken.
